TV or I pad for my lil one? ?

After analysing for last one year i finally have been able to make a decision to choose an Ipad over TV.
Its very important for every parent to know what his/her child is watching during the free time or mealtime on TV or Ipad.(I am talking strictly for children less than 12years). Some parents might think I am over protecting the child or doing the helicopter parenting (the latest fad in the parenting world....Uff !!). Let me explain myself.

I let my child, 3years of age, watch ipad sometimes when she way too cranky or during the mealtime(a bad habit i know but fussy eater has to eat something during the day :(  ) . I always prefer her watching an Ipad over TV .

My reasons:-
1. I get to choose the content on Ipad. I download educational apps and games which helps her to use brain and is entertaining at the same time.
2. There is no abusive language or violence she is learning during the Ipad session whereas on TV a child can scroll and watch any channel by mistake and if not the channel, there are even a lot cartoons which are not teaching good things. Cartoons like Doraemon or ShinChan on nickelodeon is a bad example of cartoon.
3. I can switch on Ipad anytime and anywhere to grab her attention.
4. I can make her forget to watch Ipad coz I keep it in a drawer which is not reachable to her whereas the TV is right there in the drawing room where the child can keep the track of time and can ask to watch a scheduled programme.

Due to all this, even when we(parents) watch TV alot of time my baby is interested in playing her game(in the same room) rather than sitting and watching TV with us.

If you think I am right or you think the same as a mother, please comment!

Happy mommying!
